Angelefios standing together discuss
ing the situation and watching their
special car, which was being switched
on in the rear OF the car occupied by
| His Eminence. Each of the COM
mittee wore knot of red ribbon in
his button-hole as distinguishing
sign, and most of them looked rather
tired of their long wait, for the train
was two hours behind time. The
names OF the gentlemen who were
present are: d. Garcia, John Ken
ealy, d. Desmond, J. L. How, W. r.
Burke, V. Ponet, B. ]. Reeve, j. G.
Kays, j. z. Moran, G. Ganahl, P.
Beaudry, w. G. Bluett, X. Sleeve
Hon. r. F. Del Vale, j. Moriarity,
X. Dillon, ID. NJ. McGarry, r. Far
quar-, OF the Tribune, and j. d.
Fennessey, OF the Times. As soon as
the car was attached the committee
re-entered it and few moments af-
terward Cardinal Gibbons made his
appearance in their midst. A general
introduction took place, Father Myers
officiating as master OF ceremonies,
after which the doors of the car were
locked to prevent intrusion, and seat
ing himself in q central location the
Cardinal conversed affably with all
around.
"By the way DIR. Chapelle," said
the HERALD reporter to that dignitary
sis that magnificent ring the Cardinal
wears. the one bestowed on him by the
Pope"
"No'' was the response, with a
smile, "did you not hear OF the rob-
berry that occurred some time ago ?
The Cardinal had placed the ring. he
received from Rome, a fine topaz-to-
gether with a massive gold emerald
and diamond circlet left him by Arch
bishop Bayly in drawer in his pri-
vate office. Some sneak thief watched
his opportunity and when there was
no one about, decamped with them
and they have never been recovered,
nor is there any trace as to their
whereabouts.
"Then the ring the Cardinal wears
is not the Pontifical endowment
"No, it is one that was in his possess
sion-a valuable one as you can see,
that stone is an amethyst set with
about twenty diamonds.
"Worth about $500, | should imag-
ine," interpolated one of the com
mittee.
In the meantime the train was rap
idly approaching Los Angeles, and as
the settlements grew thicker and
thicker, His Eminence became very
interested in the vista and asked q
multitude of questions. He appeared
greatly astonished to find streets laid
out miles from the commercial center,
and was just conversing about the
water supply when the stentorian
tones of brakeman calculated, clos

AT THE DEPOT
The train pulled slowly up at the
platform and when the Cardinal
alighted he was Immediately sur
rounded by the hundreds who had
assembled to greet him. The first to
be presented was Bishop Mora, then
Mavor Workman, 1. w. Hellman
Doctor Den and host of clergy and
laity, who were reverently bow,
ing on all sides. A lane was
formed to where a long string Of
carriages was in attendance and the
Cardinal, accompanied by Bishop
Mora, entered a neat-looking chariot,
drawn by four bays, which was
driven across the road, while the
committee entered the vehicles that
were awaiting them. A procession
was then formed, of which the Car
dinal's coach formed the center-piece
and the hacks were rapidly driven
toward the cathedral, at which place
it was arranged that His Eminenct
should dine. Passing Spring street
q glimpse was obtained of the Chinese
procession and it appeared to amuse
His Eminence very much, but no stop
page was made en- route and the carri.
ages passed through streets lined
with curious observers until the cathe-
dral was reached.
ARRIVAL AT THE CATHEDRAL.
Here, quite concollrse OF people
was in waiting and as the Cardinal
alighted from the carriage and entered
the church he was closely fol-
lowed by n respectful train
of men, women and children.
His Eminence passed mp the main
aisle and knelt in prayer few NOM
ents before the altar, after which he
faced the congregation and solemnly
blessed them. He then retired,
fatigued after his long journey
and after partaking OF pleasant re-
past, proceeded to ST. Vincent's Col
lege where he remained until the
time approached for the evening re,
